The Lambton County Archives is pinning on Historypin! To see historic photographs of our community, click the box above.

As an extension of the Lambton Heritage Museum's
Sarnia We Built This City feature exhibit, the Museum and Archives have created a tour of historic Sarnia buildings. Throughout Sarnia watch for stories and photos from the city's past. Look for our brightly coloured orange markers in the windows of Sarnia buildings or follow the interactive Historypin tour online.

Discover Sarnia's changing streetscapes. Learn about the places where
Sarnians worked, the businesses where they bought their goods, and the
city where they spend their leisure time and raised their families

If you have an interesting photo of Lambton County heritage and would like to inquire about how you can be a part of our Historypin project, please contact us!
